So if anyone can look at my saved ticket and give me some help on wether the current psu is good for the build, that would be awesome, Thanks!

750 watt is fine for the system you selected.

That GPU has a total design power (TDP) of 145W and the CPU has a TDP of 88W. These are the maximum power draw at the manufacturers specified settings. My guess is that the rest of the system will come in <50W. Overclocking will increase the power draw a bit.

That said your choice should have plenty of power for that system. The sweet spot for most power supplies efficiency is around 50% of maximum load.
